Hi Michelle,I love your blog and it has gotten me through all my good times and bad time since my surgery...I am a year out I had lost 136 lbs and just gained back 4. I have not been good but did not think I was that bad and I am devastated. I feel like I am going to be huge again and that I am just a loser. I just need to know if you ever had bad times and if so how you got through. I am sorry I just want to go eat everything in sight and just thinking you might have advice is making me hold off.

Even if I don't hear back from you I want you to know you have made a difference in my life...thanks

Thank you for the lovely compliment. Congratulations on your weight loss!

You know I definitely have hungrier weeks and the scale will pop up a pound or two. It happens. If I feel like I'm getting a little out of control I do a few things...

* I chart my meals on fitday.com for a week to see what's going on in B&W.

* I drink more water. I'm not a good water drinker but water fills you and is 0 cals.

* I plan. Most days I know exactly what I am going to have for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and Snack the next day. On the days I don't plan I start to grab stuff and graze... adding a ton more calories to my day. So my best advice is plan.

I don't have any click :( but I am wondering if I could make a reasonable facsimile with instant coffee crystals and just chocolate powder. Hmm, I feel the need to experiment! Yumm! Thanks for another yummy recipe!

Hi Shelly, Where can I find in the store malted milk sugar free the one you make the ice cream with? I know you orered it online but I would like to get in a stroe. I live in San Jose, Ca. Thank You Pat

Hi Shelly: What is the difference between the CLick Powder and a Protein Powder. I notice you use both. You have incredible recipes and the pictures make it all worthwhile. I am 8 weeks out and still experimenting. Take care.

The Protein Powder I use most often is made by SEI Pharmaceuticals it's called Max Protein (or Ultimate Protein) Max is a GNC franchise store exclusive name. It comes in Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry, Cookies & Cream & Chocolate Mint and is AMAZING! No gnarly taste or smell. Click is a brand name of an Espresso Flavored Protein Powder I use. It comes in Mocha & Vanilla Latte.

About Me

I had my guts rearranged (aka Weight Loss Surgery, RNY gastric bypass surgery June 2006) This blog is basically me rambling about my world. I also post recipes that I've adapted to make weight loss surgery friendly.
I love to cook.
I have always loved to cook. It's my creative outlet. I was scared that having weight loss surgery would put an end to my days in the kitchen but happily it did not. I actually get to be even more creative by analyzing a favorite recipe and seeing where I can make changes to make a healthier version of a pre-op favorite.

Thank You
